Percy POV

" Would you like to join the avengers ? " .

That question hung in the air, silence took over the room as the avengers got up from their seats and started protesting.

Joining the avengers means more battles, wars, blood, sacrifice. If anything happens to those guys after I made friends with them, it will literally kill me. I have lost all those who I care about, and my scale is already tipping towards the edge, waiting to be broken.

I level me gaze at the director and say one clear word, " No. " Everybody was shocked.

Clearly it's a one in a life time chance but I can't risk it, not anymore. I've already lost too much, way too much. This, this is just going to make everything worse, for me and for them.

" Why ? "  The director asked in disbelief. I shrugged and sat back down and took a long, deep breath to calm my ever so jumpy nerves.

" It's not like I'm not honored, I am, it's just that I don't want to risk going through that part of my life again, and if you ask me about that I will most certainly will not answer you, " I replied, tapping my fingers against the shiny surface of the wooden desk.

" This is a chance of the a lifetime, you can't just simply pass it up. You'd have to be an idiot if you do, " Snorted Tony. Oh how much I want to knock out this guy again, it's almost worth my time and energy.

" Don't you think I know that, " I growled, " I won't join because of reasons nobody can understand. "  I get up from the table and start pacing back and forth, the agents at my side pull out their guns, targeted right at me.

" If you knew what I have been through then you won't be doubting me. You won't be even asking me this offer, " I began pulling harshly at my hair, letting the pain clear up my head a little bit.

" Then tell us ! " demanded Natasha, quite coldly of I say so myself. I stopped and looked directly into her eyes, glaring at her so hard that she took a small, almost unnoticed step back.

I smiled, " I can't tell you, I won't tell you, you don't have the right to know anything ! You can't just kidnap me and demand to know every single detail about my life ! "  I was now leaning into the walls, hyperventilating, traces of flashbacks entering my mind.

" We are humans too ! We have a life ! And you can't just take that away from us just because we're different ! You can't ! You can't, you can't, " my voice turned into a whisper at the end, pain slicing through my mind as the flashbacks increases.

I slide down the wall and into the cold floor, the pain ever worsening. Pulling my knees to my chest, I pray to all the gods that it isn't that flashback, not that one, anything but that one.

My eyes droop as my vision darkens, hearing my name being called out by someone. Everything goes dark.

Oh no.
